- Agency Report
The Atiku Media office has dismissed rumours of plot by former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to another party.
In a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja, the office maintained that Atiku is not leaving the PDP, labelling reports of defection as baseless and illogical.
The statement affirmed that Abubakar remains a loyal and active member of the PDP.
“We have noticed some platforms spreading unverified claims about Abubakar leaving the PDP,” it said.
The office further clarified that these reports about Atiku’s defection have no factual basis.
According to reports, Atiku had consistently called for a coalition of opposition parties for the 2027 elections.
This, according to his media office, is aimed at challenging the All Progressives Congress (APC) and offer Nigerians a fresh political direction in 2027.
“Abubakar is advocating for a broad coalition, including the PDP.
“The allegation of Abubakar leaving the PDP is false and goes against his ongoing efforts for opposition unity,” the office confirmed.
The Atiku Media office stressed that these claims were intended to mislead Nigerians regarding the coalition’s significance in rescuing Nigeria from APC rule.
